The Abominable

Dan Simmons

A thrilling story of high-altitude death and survival set on Mount Everest from the author of Flashback (2011). It's 1924, and four climbers have been paid by a grieving Lady Bromley to bring home her son, who vanished on the mountain. Deep in Tibet and high on Everest, the climbers find themselves being pursued through the night by someone...or something. This nightmare becomes a matter of life and death at 28,000 feet---but what is pursuing them? And how is it connected to the disappearance of Lady Bromley's son? Fans of historical adventure will find much to enjoy in this spine-tingling tale.
